Echocardiographic estimation of right ventricular wall tension: haemodynamic comparison and long-term follow-up

Prognosis in pulmonary hypertension is strictly linked to right ventricle failure, which results from uncoupling between right ventricle function and its afterload. This study sought to describe how to estimate with echocardiography right ventricular wall tension, its correlation with right ventricl...
